Are you using free or paid titanium backup? If you are using free version I believe you need to restore apps one by one. If using paid version there is a little box upper right corner that you select and then scroll down to restore all user apps and let tib do the restore for you. This is one app I highly recommend buying the full version of. Especially if you become a crack flasher like a lot of us. It comes in real handy. Just a bit of advice not necessary, but good for me. I save my tib backups to my external sd card just in case I want to format my internal sd. If you ever flash a 4.2.2 rom you'll find out why when you want to come back to 4.1.1 ROM. Also watch a video on you tube on how to use tib. That will help a lot. Good luck.....

I'm hoping someone over here can help me with this one:

I'm currently using DS X2. If I am in an app, let's say the XDA app for the sake of discussion, and the screen times out and shuts off. I then press the home button to wake the screen and the screen wakes but it kills the app.

When I read the change log for X2 I see this line "- Fixed The Awake While In A App Always Bringing You Back To The Homescreen Issue!" I thought that meant that I could now use the home screen to wake the phone and the app won't be killed but maybe I'm reading that wrong or perhaps there is a setting that I'm missing.

Could someone please shed a little light on that?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tomyang521:
I need help installing the X2 ROM.

After I run the zip with CWM and select all my files, the installation takes literally half a second. It says it has successfully installed but nothing has changed on my s3. I retried twice more, and same result.

The installation log says

"

Device: T-Mobile Galaxy S3 (USA)

Verifying device compatibility...

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2tmo" ll

getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2tmo"

"

Yes, I did select T-mobile version during selection...

Please reply!

EDIT: I checked the Aroma installer again and in System Information, it says I have the SPH-L710 instead of the SGH-T999? Wtf? I got my phone at T-mobile. When plugging my phone to the computer via USB it says SGH-T999... I've installed the previous T-Mo DarthStalker roms before. Aroma is reading my phone incorrectly..

I personally have not come across this problem...will try to make it happen and tell you my findings :P
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mgbotoe:
Well I do not have the app killed rather it minimizes like how it would if the screen didn't turn of. I can't get it kill the app... It doesn't go through lock screen correct?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] siani_8:
I almost went back and edited my post as I realized "killed" was the wrong choice of words but yes it minimizes it when I wake the screen with the home button. I thought maybe what I had read in the change log: " - Fixed The Awake While In A App Always Bringing You Back To The Homescreen Issue!" meant that I could now wake the phone right away with the home button when it times out and I would still be in the app I was using but perhaps I misinterpreted that statement.

Anyway, thank you very much for checking. I will just train myself to wake with the power button instead when the screen times out. Alternatively, I have also been using the "smart stay" feature so that the phone won't time out when I'm using it but of course that won't work well in the dark since the camera can't see my face.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mgbotoe:
I will suggest getting a majority look at it in the mainn forum to see if working with everyone (not sure how that will go for you though lol)

But I have had in the past where it is stated something is fixed / implemented with the darth series but it does not work for me personally. I never really payed much mind to those so i never fully investigated....

Though I will see if I can find a mod...I have been searching mods like crazy as of late, if I see one pertaining to that will link it for you for use till it can be figured out.

And I'm quite sure its not a setting with in the rom. Maybe others will post in here later to verify for you as well.

Ok I found this one thread....http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1929953

Theres two solution offered in there: one with S-voice and one with framework.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] siani_8:
Thanks I'm going to go through that whole link you posted. I've also just done some more personal testing with that home button and screen time out and this is what I just learned:

If I hit the home button THE VERY INSTANT the screen turns off it will wake the phone and the app will not minimize. If I wake the phone 1-3 seconds (roughly) after it shuts off it will wake and take me to the home screen and minimize the app I was using. After 4 seconds (roughly) it will wake and I will see the lockscreen.

Thanks again for the link!

Many thanks to all who helped me with this obviously noob question :)

I successfully updated my phone to DSX2 last night, using TB did the backup prior to update, then did a snapshot restore of apps/data. Worked like a charm, got sms back, call log back, everything.. Very cool.

One of the things that DID happen though, when I installed DSX2 I choose to NOT install S-voice - I had read it was causing some issues with voice typing, and I never use it anyway... so in aroma I choose NO SVOICE. Well, when I restored my apps/data in Titanium backup, it restored svoice, kies, media hub, etc.. a bunch of stuff that was NOT in DSX2.

Should I be worried about that? Should I redo the DSX2 install and manually select what apps to restore? or am I overthinking this again.... :confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] siani_8:
From what I've read, the few people that had a problem with voice texting were not able to activate the voice commands from a keyboard at all. Try it out. If it's working, then I'd say don't worry and enjoy DX2.

If it is working for you, I think you should also post that so if people are having a problem with voice texting with keyboards, you may have just given them an alternative temporary fix besides installing the ROM without S-voice. Perhaps they can try restoring that app with Titanium. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mgbotoe:
I find it better to select what you want to restore.... Especially system apps. System apps can be very buggy in restoration why I only do call logs WiFi Bluetooth pairing and text. As for normal apps no need to worry about them, just delete if you want use a debloater to debloat. I still prefer choosing apps manually as I have come to found out 1\3 of my apps become useless cause I find something better lol.

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 PM ----------

Also choose missing apps when restoring so u won't override any updated things from the rom
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tmjohnsonfse:
This is a very good point. When restoring using TIB scroll down to the restore and perform restore apps only function. Then before you click the check mark to start scroll down the list and uncheck all apps that you don't want restored. For example svoice, kies, etc. They will stay on the list until you permentantly delete them from your tib directory. Be very careful if you try out another rom and you perform a full app restore the new rom might not play nice with some apps. I have also been told at different times if switching from a 4.1 to a 4.2 rom it is better to not restore at all, but actually go into the play store and goto my apps and re-install the apps you use and then just do a data restore. I can't say how true this is, I just listen to what the dev of the roms says to do for installation. Once you have restored enough times you will get used to what you can and can't do. I hope you enjoy your new rom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Araltd:
Many thanks for all your help people. This has been my first time using titanium backup restore. I'm very impressed how well it works.

And for the record I have tested voice typing, pressing the mic on the keyboard(s) and every time seems to work fine. It launches Google now voice, not s voice. I'm not big on voice control but I have used it in the car a couple times. Svoice is useless in my opinion, but it may be better? It's not for me. Google now seems to be much more usable. At least in my limited opinion. :thumbup:

Anyway, again thanks!

Just started using Google Navigation after my DS X2 (clean) flash. It's no longer saying any street names - just "Turn Left" or "Turn Right". Is anybody experiencing this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] siani_8:
To answer your question, yes, I have tested navigation on DX2 and it did give spoken directions. What troubleshooting have you tried so far? I assume that you checked your TTS settings and that Media Volume is turned up?

I know they are dumb questions but if our TV is broken, we should make sure it's plugged in first before we start taking it apart right? :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
No worries. I completely understand the questions. :) Yes, media volume is up. However, I don't know where the TTS settings are.:silly:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] siani_8:
In settings then language and input you will see TTS settings. I have Google selected but there is the option for Samsung TTS also. While in that screen there is the option to listen to sample. Do you hear anything with a sample? Also were you hearing voice with say a Google voice search and just not navigation?

I had the setting set to "Google". I even changed it to "Samsung". I can hear samples, and I still "Turn Left" and "Turn Right", but still no street names.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] siani_8:
Oh man, I must have misunderstood you the first time. I'm sorry about that.

I just went outside and tested navigation. The navigation voice is definitely telling me what street to turn on. It sounds to me like there is a problem just with google maps then. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling google maps? If that doesn't work then take it a step further and using a root explorer, navigate to data/data and delete the com.google.android.apps.maps folder and reboot. That folder will remake itself on a reboot so don't worry. From personal experience, sometimes when I have a corrupted app then deleting the data folder (for the app I'm having a problem with) and rebooting will usually fix it if reinstalling the app or clearing app cache and data didn't work.

I'm curious what kernels you guys are using and have your experiences been better with those kernels vs the stock kernel. I'm using the stock kernel with fairly decent results, and keep reading these claims of phenomenal screen on time's (which is got to be the biggest hurdle for the stock battery), but its always a whisper in a dark corner.. and unless you're part of the good 'ole boy club, you're not getting anyway! :(

This could probably go in questions and answers too...here go first.

Running DSX2, Gmail app for email. I get lots of emails from the same sender with 6 attachments. It's an alert from my security cameras.

Gmail now delivers like 8k preview thumbnails of each picture. The problem is sometimes it takes forever for them to come in..(the thumbnails)

Not sure if it's the thumbnails taking long, Gmail having a hard time processing and delivering them, or if the emails are all threaded together daily so that thread is huge.

Before android I had an iPhone, using its stock email client and I guess it must have processed the thumbnails on the phone end, not the server(Gmail) end..not sure but either way the thumbnail images appeared much quicker, and it was an older iPhone 4 ... so I know my S3 is much faster by comparison.

Any suggestion on getting those thumbnail images to pop up faster? I've tried 4g, Wi-Fi, no difference. Most time it's painfully slow to see the images...

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tp2215:
I dont have any idea why Gmail is doing that per se, but you can always set another email client up to work with Gmail like the native android or s3 mail app or k9 to see if they work better.Just a suggestion.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Araltd:
Except for my security camera alerts, most of the email clients I've tried on android have been good. I like enhance email a lot. But none give thumbnails like the Gmail app does, and it only very recently started doing that. Like maybe last 3 to 4 months? Otherwise you'd get the list of attachments and would have to download them to see the pictures. And the alert pictures are really small...but you have to get thumbnails, that's a deal breaker.

One of the only things I still miss from iPhone.. it's email client is better.. at least for my needs.

If it had a micro SD slot, replaceable battery. and bigger display I might get one. Sure had the engine though. I was surprised it was only running 4.1.2. It also made me a bit jealous since he is on AT&T LTE and was getting 40 down and 30 up compared to my 12 and 3. I guess my battery life will be better. I wonder how the S4 will compare?

Oh and most other Android email apps don't show thumbnails of those attachments, my iPhone 4 did using its stock email client. Of the 4-5 android clients I tried only the gmail app gets those thumbs pushed from the server.
